Vani somnia

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Empty dreams

"
Let's walk through the valley 
you and I 
hold my hand  
we will enter the shadows 

Hide me away from the light of day 
that light that burns away ambiguity 
give me obscurity 
give me a minished stature 
let me slink into the dark and be forgotten 

who asked for the fire 
who asked for any of this 

Now leave me be 
release me of the promises 
I made so long ago in ignorance 
should one be punished for a life time 

Where is the end of a rainbow 
where is the water of a mirage 
where is true love 
call me Quixote 
a knight-errant 
slaying windmill dragons 
there is only illusions and deception 

isolation is a poison 
I am addicted to 
the way I push the good away 

Always hungry 
always thirsty 
chasing after clouds 
who only ever promise rain 
dust in my mouth  
death in my lungs 

Let's us walk through this valley low 
you and I 
hand in hand we enter the shadows 
and disappear together......

Sometimes you gotta get high and listen to Ben Folds sing a song called "Learn to Live With What You Are".

i'm sorry you have stalker. they come and go. Even the extreme ones after 6 months, they tend to wear themselves out. Never interact... ever. That's gasoline to the fire.
